I think Fico di Amalfi would be a great one to try too. 30R is right, everyone seems to like this one. If you are buying samples before buying a whole bottle try Keiko Mecheri Un Jour d'Ete. The notes are Sicilian lemon, petit grain, mandarine, floral accord, aromatic accord, amber and musk. I was greatly impressed with this one last summer. Or you could try Dior Escale aux Marquises, which is really nice.

If she likes fig, please check out Sonoma Scent Studio Fig Tree. I *much* prefer it to Philosykos. It's not vanillic or overly milky -- it's woody, a bit green at the top, and just wonderfully fleshy and dark. It is simply magnificent. Added bonus -- Laurie's prices are very reasonable and you can get a small bottle without breaking the bank.

Major shopping days with good sale prices! Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving (which always falls on a Thursday)-- so called because stores sell so much that even if they've been operating "in the red" earlier in the year, the pre-Christmas season turns that around.

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving, when online vendors run major sales.

Re: ideas for wife, please.

Thank you for al the suggestions! Looks like I will have to go on luckyscent for a few, myperfumesamples for others.
Might just blind buy fico with the recs and reviews I've read- plus it is pretty affordable. Don't worry, I will be trying them all eventually; so no wasted help.
